Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Mar 3, 2024 1.5/4

With more sloppy computer graphics rendering more fantastical movie monsters, the sequel boasts a lot of digital fakery directed without much grace. The result is dark and noisy and sorta fun to chuckle at, not with.

The plot remains a rambling nonsense of ancient evil, clan rivalries, and hidden history.

While it is still plagued by many of the same problems of the first film, Underworld: Evolution is generally an improvement over the original and an entertaining diversion.

Yes, I'll admit, it's better than the first film, but really not by much.

Nudity and excessive exposition accompany gore-infused visual f/x in this splashy modern Goth extravaganza.

Overall, Underworld: Evolution is a vast improvement over its predecessor Underworld (2003), even if it generally suffers from the twin evils of stupidity and seriousness.

It never lives up to the potential of its premise about a centuries-old war between rival clans of vampires and werewolves.

...the series continues to squander its undeniably irresistible premise of vampires and werewolves duking it out...

This is one of the more maddening franchises going right now, because so much potential is being wasted by director Len Wiseman, who can't seem to get the formula right.

I'm thinking about hair color after just having seen an action-horror movie; that's a bad sign.

Underworld films are a highly specialized taste, and those who've acquired it know who they are. Everyone else should give this one a wide berth.

The movie is intermittently entertaining and often gory but rarely exciting.

The plot is so convoluted that missing even five minutes at a stretch won't make any difference in your comprehension of the story.

The digital critters look much better than in the first film, it's fun seeing Derek Jacobi and Bill Nighy vamp it up, and the sight of Kate in that suit makes it worth squinting through all the murk.

It's interesting and very telling that in the credits the actors are named last. It's Wiseman's way of acknowledging his films are not about performances but special effects.

I can't even begin to divulge the storyline because it's mostly unfathomable.

Takes itself way too seriously and relies way too heavily on its "multi-generational gothic soap opera" exposition volleys that crop up whenever someone's *** is not being kicked.
